About
Counter-Strike 2 is a competitive first person shooter defined by round based play and clearly defined roles. Teams split each match between the Terrorist and Counter-Terrorist sides, with objectives shifting accordingly. Terrorists aim to plant the bomb or eliminate the opposing team before time expires, while Counter-Terrorists work to prevent the plant, defuse the bomb, or secure eliminations. Success is built on precision gunplay, positioning, and disciplined teamwork across every round. At the highest level,
Counter-Strike 2 is shaped by its economy system and the strategic use of utility. Teams earn money through round performance and must carefully manage resources to maintain competitive firepower throughout a match. Smokes, flashbangs, incendiaries, and grenades are used to control space, deny information, and create openings. As one of esports most storied titles, Counter-Strike 2 continues to thrive through deep rivalries and an experienced global fan base, with its next chapter unfolding on the Esports World Cup stage.

Community Streaming Guidelines
We want to encourage community streamers to be creative and produce exciting content for their fans, at the same time, we would like to emphasise that in-line with the CS2 community stream policy the community streams should be strictly non-commercial — this applies to both live broadcast and VODs of the broadcast. Any content created based on the VOD livestream or parts of the VOD livestream will also need to follow our policies.
If you break these rules, EWC reserves the right to take action against your stream.
For the avoidance of doubt, you are not allowed to re-stream the streaming feeds broadcasted by EWC.
1. Streaming Titles
The community stream title has to follow a standardised format of “Full Name of Event – Team A vs. Team B”, for example, “Esports World Cup 2026 – Team A vs. Team B”.
2. Dos and Donts
Community streamers must not have professional studio level broadcast features. In addition, a physical set with several talents is not allowed.
3. Environment
Create a positive and inclusive environment and ensure proper moderation of your chat.
These requirements are not exhaustive — if in doubt, please contact us for confirmation.
